⁠Celestia Node

Golang implementation of Celestia's data availability node types (light | full | bridge).

The celestia-node types described above comprise the celestia data availability (DA) network.

The DA network wraps the celestia-core consensus network by listening for blocks from the consensus network and making them digestible for data availability sampling (DAS).

Continue reading here⁠ if you want to learn more about DAS and how it enables secure and scalable access to Celestia chain data.

⁠Minimum requirements

⁠System Requirements

See the official docs page for system requirements per node type:

• Bridge⁠
• Light⁠
• Full⁠

⁠Installation

git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-node.git
cd celestia-node
make build
sudo make install

For more information on setting up a node and the hardware requirements needed, go visit our docs at https://docs.celestia.org⁠.

⁠API docs

The celestia-node public API is documented here⁠.

⁠Node types

• Bridge nodes - relay blocks from the celestia consensus network to the celestia data availability (DA) network
• Full nodes - fully reconstruct and store blocks by sampling the DA network for shares
• Light nodes - verify the availability of block data by sampling the DA network for shares

More information can be found here⁠.

⁠Run a node

<node_type> can be: bridge, full or light.

celestia <node_type> init

celestia <node_type> start

Please refer to this guide⁠ for more information on running a node.
